10 Worst Performing Large-Caps Last 12 Months

Wednesday, June 4, 2025 · Johnny Hopkins

Over the past twelve months ten Large-Cap stocks have underperformed all others. Here’s this week’s top 10 worst performing Large-Caps in the last twelve months:

Name 1 Year Price Returns (Daily)
Moderna (MRNA) -81.68%
Enphase Energy (ENPH) -67.73%
Albemarle (ALB) -53.17%
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) -50.28%
AES (AES) -48.00%
Dow (DOW) -47.40%
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) -45.72%
First Solar (FSLR) -45.39%
Estee Lauder Companies (EL) -44.88%
Teradyne (TER) -43.10%

Key Insights:

  • Cyclicals and rate-sensitive industries (utilities, materials, renewables) were hardest hit.

  • High-growth, high-multiple names have seen sharp reversals as cost of capital increased.

  • China exposure (Estee Lauder, Albemarle) was a common drag.

  • This group could be a reflection of macro headwinds more than company-specific disasters—offering potential opportunities for contrarian investors.
